Earth Science Web quest Directions: Answer each of the following questions on a separate sheet. Make sure to skip lines as you write down the answers and that the answers are in complete sentences Part 1àClick on Plate Movement/ earthquake and volcanoes ON Mrs. McNamara’s page website
1. Click on “Maps.” Check the boxes for boundaries, volcanoes, earthquakes, hotspots and velocities. What correlations do you see? What seems to have no relationship?
2. Click on “Motion.” Move the plates to see how they have changed over time. What do the black lines represent? How about the green areas
3. Click on “Details.”
a. What is oceanic-continent subduction? What is a continental volcanic arc and what are some examples?
b. What is a continent-continent collision? What are some examples?
c. What is ocean-ocean subduction? What are some examples?
d. What is a continental rift? What are some examples?
e. What is a midocean ridge? How is it like a conveyor belt?
f. What is a continental transform? What is an example?
g. What is an oceanic transform?
h. What are oceanic hot spots? What are some examples?
i. What are continental hot spots? What are some examples?
Part 2àClick on “Interactive Volcano” on Mrs. McNamara’s website
1. Click on Global Perspective. What are tectonic plates?
2. Click on “Ring of Fire” (bottom right corner). What is the “Ring of Fire”?
3. Click on “Layers Within.” What are they?
4. Click on “Volcano Types.” What are the 3 types of volcanoes? Describe each type.
5. Click on “Inside a volcano.” Draw a picture of the inside of a volcano and label the different parts.
6. Click on “Build your own volcano and watch it erupt.” How do viscosity and gas factor in volcanoes?
7. Click on “viscosity info”. What is it?
8. Click on “gas info.” What is it?
9. Now try your hand at varying the conditions of the volcano and starting the eruption. Fill in the chart below.
